Thus the problem I see with 'Superman Returns'- audiences expected to see Superman but instead of a heroic, honorable and (gasp) patriotic character they saw a neurotic, brooding, stalking, whining, emo character who was painted as being the second coming of Jesus. And looking at the box office results the general public had that same disconnect.



Why must Superman have all the emotional problems,etc? Because the audience must be able to 'connect' with the hero? Why can't Hollywood accept that Superman is just a good person, and wants to do the right thing?
Why does evryone have such a problem with Superman being upset about Lois having a kid and living with Cyclops? It's totally understandable and, as Chaltab mentionmed, when it comes to the crunch he puts his personal issues aside and saves the world.
